Business & Networking

As Indonesia's commercial centre, Jakarta hosts a dense programme of conferences, trade expos and professional networking. The bilateral chambers of commerce — BritCham, AmCham, EuroCham, AustCham and others — run regular mixers and briefings that are among the most useful entry points for newcomers to the city. This section covers conferences, summits, trade shows at JIExpo Kemayoran and JCC Senayan, startup and tech meetups, investor briefings and after-work networking. Chamber events are frequently open to non-members at a higher ticket price. Large trade expos often separate trade-only days from public days, so check which applies before travelling out to Kemayoran.
